Iran Agrees To Nuclear Deal

The United States and five other world powers have reached a deal with Iran that would place strict limits on Tehran’s nuclear program in return for ending sanctions on its economy, the culmination of years of delicate diplomacy pursued by President Barack Obama despite warnings the agreement could strengthen Iran’s Islamist regime and leave it dangerously close to a nuclear bomb.

The debate over the future of the Iranian nuclear program quickly moved from the negotiating tables of Vienna to the halls of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, as skeptical lawmakers began taking stock of a deal they will have roughly two months to review and possibly reject.
